The last group to come back did not get a visit from management. On our first day, we took lunch, and then waited for about 30 minutes while our class facilitator tried to contact them. When nobody responded, they let us go for the day.

Now, everyone is in the sims and should be finishing up in the next 2 weeks. The initial shock was hard to handle (while studying), but now I'm just treating this as a chance to get current again and have a marketable resume in the spring!
